Red-bellied Piranha...

[@ombomb]

red bellies should be kept in groups of 5+ and in nothing less than a 5x2x2 imo
these fish(if cared for properly)grow close to the size of a dinner plate
just because some people keep them in pairs or trios in small tanks dont make it ok
another fish that gets a total bum deal in this hobby

Please show me any advice from a reputable Piranha source that:

1.) States that Piranhas will be unhealthy, stunted or more prone to desise if kept in pairs.

2.) That 55 USG is too small for 2 Red Bellied Piranha.

I happily admit I am wrong but truely believe I have done my research and am doing the right thing by my fish.

CFC is one of the most reliable and reputable sources I can think of when it comes to freshwater predators...

That was Cane that said the original post, but I think he is also one of the most reputable sources around.
